Just Joking:

Running The Red:

Two old ladies were out driving in a big car. Both could barely see over the dashboard. They were cruising along at a steady twenty-six miles per hour when they came to a n intersection. And although the light was red, they went straight through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself: “I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light.”

Three hundred yards further down the road they approached another intersection. Again the light was red, but again they went through it. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, “I must be seeing things because I’m sure we just went through another red light.”

A couple of minutes later they went through a third red light. This time, she turned to the other woman and said, “MILDRED! Don’t you know we just went through three red lights? You could’ve killed us!”

“Oh”, said Mildred, “Am I driving?”

Cocky Salesman:

A vacuum cleaner salesman wormed his way into the home of a woman in a remote Welsh valley.

“This machine is amazing,” he enthused in his finest sales patter before tipping a bag of dirt over the lounge floor carpet. “Watch this. If this machine doesn’t remove every last speck of dirt, I’ll lick it off the carpet myself!”

With a smirk she replied, “Deal. Oh, by the way, we don’t have electricity out here. Do you want some Ketchup?”

Moving out:

A woman called a pet shop and asked for three hundred cockroaches. The shop owner said: “If you don’t mind me asking, what on earth do you need three hundred cockroaches for?”

The woman replied: “Well, I’m moving today, and my lease says I must leave the place in the same condition I found it.”
